Rating
Book Description Paperback. Condition: Good. 365 pages. Cover wornRichard M. Titmuss?s The Gift Relationsh ip has long been acknowledged as one of the classic texts on soci al policy. Honored by the New York Times as one of the ten most i mportant books of the year when it first appeared in 1970, Titmus s?s The Gift Relationship is even more topical now in an age of A IDS and changing health care policy. A seemingly straightforward comparative study of blood donating in the United States and Brit ain, the book elegantly raises profound economic, political, and philosophical questions. Titmuss contrasts the British system of reliance on voluntary donors to the American one in which the blo od supply is largely in the hands of for-profit enterprises and s hows how a nonmarket system based on altruism is more effective t han one that treats human blood as another commodity. This update d edition contains the original text along with new chapters At a time when health and welfare systems are under sustained attack from many quarters, this new edition of The Gift Relationship is essential reading for everyone interested in social policy and th e future of our society.
